PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
User-Friendly
and A True MicroFinance Software
CommonCents 101 Micro
Finance and Banking Software is a window-based,
menu-driven,
diagram-button-driven and
icon-driven
system designed initially for Micro-Finance
Institutions (MFIs) with Grameen and/or ASA
methodologies. It is highly differentiated from a
banking software because it is powered by modules and
reports which facilitate and monitor group transactions
but also take considerations of transactions by
individual clients. CommonCents 101 is a 3-in-1
software because it highly integrates
the
Loan Tracking System,
the Savings System, and
the
General Ledger System.
This integration eliminates
data-entry redundancy and makes data in the three areas
consistent. This means that every transaction done in
the Loan Tracking and/or Savings Modules has a
corresponding journalized entry in the Financial System.
This also means that savings transaction may also be
integrated during loan transactions (ex. Release,
Payment and Adjustment). Through its years of
usage and operations, banking modules and reports have been added
to the software which makes the system functional for
banks with simple operations. Additional banking
features and reports are continuously added and
enhanced to answer the growing information and
reportorial requirements of banks with relatively
more-advanced operations.
Dynamic Software
CommonCents 101 Software is a software that can be
easily upgraded because it uses
Object-Oriented
Programming (OOP) and N-Tier Architecture in
its design and development. (You may view the
CommonCents 101
n-Tier diagram). In some degree, it adapts the Service
Oriented Architecture (SOA) because it uses reusable
classes (tiers or services). It also uses data classes
and forms produced by CENTECH's VB6 Form
and DataClass Generator. The software is coded using
Visual Basic 6.0 and uses Crystal Report 8.0 as its
report designer.
Scalable Database
The data of the CommonCents 101
software can either be stored in MS Access 2000 or
MS SQL Server 2000 databases. This advanced IT
methodology makes future enhancement relatively easy
and fast. Futhermore, client-partners will have no
problem in the future if they decides to upgrade their
database to a higher level or version.
Tested and Reliable
Software
CommonCents 101 Software started its development early
of 2002 and modules and reports are continuously
added/enhanced based on the suggestions of current
client-partners. The system is now currently used by big MFIs and bank nationwide with a total of sixty (60)
branch- installations across regions. CommonCents101
software has also been shown and demonstrated to some
MFIs and Banks IT personnel through some software-demostrations
activities sponsored by Funders and MFI networks (e.q.
Philnet, Visayas PEF). It has also been shown to
funder’s IT personnel (e.q. PCFC, Philippine CGAP MIS
consultant) for comments and suggestions.
Capable and Competent
Software Designer and Technical Support
CommonCents 101 software is designed and developed by
CEN Systems and Technologies
(CENTECH) Corp who has
highly competent and experienced Information Technology
